2K22 (EP 27) Interstate 40 West in Amarillo, Texas

[@sounddude177]

Been travelling to Amarillo once a year for over 10 years for work. I have never seen that stretch of I-40 when it was not under construction.

[@austinvisconti]

And despite all the roadworks it's still the most terrible stretch of 40 I travel. Bouncing and dancing all through Amarillo

Born and raised in Amarillo, moved to Houston in 1991. I get back there very occasionally. This was fun to see. They moved Cadillac Ranch further West when the city started building up around the original site. About 15 miles south on 27 is Canyon. If you head east out of there, the prairie opens up into a big canyon. Palo Duro Canyon has a wonderful history and there's an amphitheater out there that does the musical "Texas" nightly from June to August.

BTW former US 66 is still drive-able in the city (I-40 Business) & I heard it still has the feel of the days when the highway's hey day. I hope you enjoy visiting the Cadillac Ranch despite what looks like a storm's a brewing in the area.

Grew up in Amarillo, but not my entire life. I don't remember the base open, but my parents met on that base (that unfortunately closed) and married. We lived in Madrid, Spain and Vandenberg AFB, Ca. After my parents divorced, mom & my brothers moved back and l eventually followed. I graduated fr Palo Duro High ('89) and wouldn't change those days for the world. Amarillo was home and had family there & made great friends. I couldn't wait to leave it and now l miss it so much and my wonderful memories there. Just like Eddie Money's song, "l Wanna Go Back," If only l could go back in time. :'( l now visit Amarillo, but it's not the same since mom passed away. However, it's always nice to see old friends and family during my visits. God bless Amarillo. P.S. My favorite job was at Piccadilly Cafeteria in Westgate Mall. Worked with an amazing crew who l loved and adored.

Good one! I've driven the I-40 east and west thru Amarillo on my way to/from the D/FW area. That road could use a couple more lanes in each direction.... Good you went to the Cadillac Ranch! You should've hit the Big Texan Steak Ranch for some Top Sirloin or a Chicken-fried Steak (no, not the big 72 oz. challenge, I know not to commit gastronomic suicide): I've eaten there before and is well worth a visit.

I stayed the night at the motel there and ate at the restaurant! Best Steak meal I've ever had. Ordered something like a 20oz. It was delicious!

[@mattwiser8406]

@@InterstateKyle You dined well. I prefer their Chicken-fried steaks, myself, but that's just me. I was there pre-COVID when they were open for breakfast, and their breakfast bar filled me up enough so that I didn't need food until I got to my relatives in the Dallas area! Stopping to use the facility at a Rest Area or at a Love's, though.....different story. Btw, at :45 seconds, you're crossing over SB U.S. 287 down to Wichita Falls and the D/FW area. A word of warning: EVERY town between Amarillo and Wichita Falls, and several between Wichita Falls and Fort Worth, are speed traps. Estelline is the worst. Be careful, especially if driving out-of-state plates, as they are frequently targeted.

A buddy & I were the very 1st visitors to the Cadillacs freshly buried right on our dirt bike trail we traveled to a friends ranch in Bushland several times a week after school; they just showed up one day. Stanley Marsh was waiting for us; he waited a few minutes at a distance to watch our ape man curiosity. We thought we were in trouble when him, and another man suddenly walked up as we climbed around inside the cars. Marsh wanted to know what we thought, but I was too flabbergasted at the surreal discovery to say much. The original location was east and south on Coulter.

I've been to Amarillo once before. For the last 100 or so miles before Amarillo, you see billboard after billboard for the 72-ounce steak challenge. When you take an exit ramp in Amarillo on the way to a steakhouse, you're greeted with a sea of flyers advertising weight loss programs! Lose weight fast! Lose 30 pounds in 30 days! I wondered if there was a conspiracy afoot. The 72 ounce steak and all the fixings are 6 LARGE dinners to me. Then again, I've been avoiding all junk food and restaurant food for the past 2 years, so even a 12-ounce steak and 1/6 of the fixings might still be too much for me. It's been at least 2 years since I last consumed fast food, French fries, ice cream, candy, cake, pie, fried chicken, hash browns, or any of my other favorite fattening vices. (On the other hand, I've increased my consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and probiotic foods.) Yes, I've been eating ultra-healthy due to the pandemic. The official recommendations just don't go far enough. I figure I need all the immune system support and anti-inflammatory support I can get. Yes, I'm eating as if the infamous Pulaski County, IL police were the Diet Police even though I'm skinny and have never had high blood cholesterol.
